California Defender, Robert clearly means that he is not squeamish, as some viewers might be, when it comes to watching violence in films, not that he is unfazed by actual violence. It's just a caveat for the viewer, something that good critics do all the time! And since he is critiquing a film, I would think that distinction would be obvious to anyone not looking to scapegoat a bright young man. Grow up, you sanctimonious nitpicker!

This is a great review! I'm glad it does not reduce drag to something that is merely sexual, but sees it as both an art, and as a courageous statement of freedom and individuality. I'm looking forward to the show!

Excellent video presentation, Beth! Visually, Purlia’s work is very well balanced and pleasing to the eye. There is a lively sense of fun, and the rich selection of playful objects and text occupies the mind with making its own connections between nostalgic symbols and current politics. It is comforting and sinister, at once. Still, the conflicts, as suggested, are often rather schematic and the overall campiness sometimes undercuts a sense of depth.
